Belgium's attacking players are in tremendous form this season

The quarterfinal between Brazil and Belgium pits against each other, some of football's most known superstars who can dispel magic with their performances.

The Brazilian attack and midfield line is clogged with players who can change the flow of the game in an instant. Gabriel Jesus and Roberto Firmino are two very capable strikers upfront. They are flanked by Neymar on the left and Willian, who has been playing out of his skin, on the right.

The midfield consists of Coutinho and Paulinho as the attacking midfield options, while Casemiro and Fernandinho take up the pivot positions.

Belgium's squad depth in attacking options often gives coach Roberto Martinez a headache to deal with. Romelu Lukaku and Michy Batshuayi are two reliable strikers upfront. Eden Hazard and Dries Mertens ply their trade as left and right wingers respectively.

In the engine room, they possess the indomitable de Bruyne and Axel Witsel, with the added services of Marouane Fellaini. Thorgan Hazard, Youri Tielemans and Adnan Januzaj are all very capable enough to cause the opposition some serious trouble. The experience of Dembele and Nacer Chadli also helps a lot.
